The Risen Road: Difference between revisions

 

The Road is found north of the [[Blighted Village]], and can be accessed by jumping across the broken bridge to the north. Alternatively, this location can also be reached by climbing a ladder in the [[Druid Grove#Secluded Chamber|Secluded Chamber]] and descending down the cliff to the west.

The Toll House was once used to collect tolls from travelers but has since been abandoned due to the road's dangerous conditions. {{CharLink|Anders}} and his allies, who are on the search for {{CharLink|Karlach}}, can be found both inside and outside the Toll House.

The Toll House's basement can be accessed by using a trap door located in the same room as Anders, on the ground level.

There is a locked door and a dead toll collector in the basement. The locked door can be opened by either destroying it, or by using the {{SmRarityItem|Toll Collector's Key}}, found to the side of the road going south from the Toll House {{Coords|104|525}}. It cannot be lockpicked.

Past the door are several rooms with trap vents that can release poison clouds if the pressure plate in the hidden treasury room is stepped on. In the end room are two stone thrones. Sit on or place items on both at the same time to reveal a hidden treasury that contains a {{SmRarityItem|Greataxe +1}} and {{SmRarityItem|Gloves of Heroism}} as well as several mundane weapons. This room is also trapped, but if the pressure plate is disarmed none of the other traps will fire.

Located at {{Coords|40|628}} in The Risen Road is a cave with two travelers {{CharLink|Rugan}} and {{CharLink|Olly}} holding out against attacking [[Gnoll]]s. They are transporting a locked '''Caravan Strongbox''', which contains the {{SmRarityItem|Iron Flask}}.

If conversation with Rugan goes favorably, he will tell the party the password to enter the [[Zhentarim Basement]] located in [[Waukeen's Rest]].

If Rugan survives and is allowed to leave, the next time the party return to the cave, the '''Caravan Strongbox''' will be gone and Rugan and Olly will have moved to the Zhentarim Basement.
